Title: Transliteration of roman text to Arabic
Inventor: HADY AMR MOHAMED ABD EL
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2008-03-04
Abstract: A method for suggesting transliteration for user inputs of roman text comprises receiving an original user input composed of alpha-numeric characters, identifying the possibility of transliterating the input, and determining at least one potential transliteration. Potential transliterations are determined by performing at least one of replacing a sequence of characters in the original input to a possible sequence of Arabic characters; determining the probabilities of the potential transliterated alternatives to the user input and electing the most likely transliteration according to some predetermined criteria; and verifying the suggested output against a validation repository (lexicon) having a large corpus of Arabic words. The method accounts for different ways of representing Arabic words using roman characters and does not analyse the meaning of the words.

Title: Mobile communication system, its scramble code assigning method, mobile station and base station
Inventor: INOUE TAKAMICHI
IPC: H04J13/16
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: In a mobile communication system where a base station autonomously assigns a scramble code, it is possible to reduce the calculation amount of the mobile station and the report information between the base station and the mobile station. In the mobile communication system, the base station starts communication by using an initialization scramble code used only upon start of a predetermined base station. The mobile station positioned in a cell judges whether the scramble code identified upon cell search is the initialization scramble code. Only if the scramble code is the initialization scramble code, a candidate scramble code is decided and it is judged whether the candidate scramble code can be used in communication. Control information including the judgment result is reported to the base station. According to the control information, the base station decides the service scramble code to be used, from the candidate scramble codes, and modifies the code to the service scramble code to start the communication.

Abstract: 1493488 Feedwater heating in steam power plant COMBUSTION ENG Inc 11 March 1975 [17 June 1974] 10102/75 Heading F4A A steam power plant (i.e. marine propulsion unit) comprises a vapour generator 18 delivering steam to high 12 and low 14 pressure turbines, external feedwater heaters 54, 56, 62, 58, 60 heated by steam bled from the turbines, economizers 40, 42 located in a combustion gas outlet 38, and a tubular air heater located in an air inlet passage 34 to a burner 28; feedwater flow being through heaters 54, 56, 62, through economizer 42, through air heater 36, through heaters 58, 60, and then to the vapour generator. The vapour generator comprises a furnace enclosure 26, a bank of evaporating tubes 24 and a superheater 30 feeding the high pressure turbine 12. Steam discharged from low pressure turbine 14 is condensed at 48 and pumped to heaters 54, 56 where it is heated by steam bled from turbine 14. Heater 62 is a direct contact de-aerating heater fed with steam from line 44 linking the turbines, and heaters 58 and 60 are heated with steam from turbine 12. Air heater 36 is employed to transfer to the inlet air heat gained by the water in economizer 42 so that water enters heaters 58, 60 at the same temperature as it leaves heater 62. To ensure that this is the case in changing operating conditions a sensor 92 responds to the outlet temperature of the air heater to operate a valve 90 controlling a by-pass line 88.

Title: Improvements relating to the reduction of chromatic aberration in magnetic electron or ion lenses
Inventor: LIEBMANN GERHARD
IPC: H01J37/141
Filed: 1947-04-12
Abstract: 665,111. Electron lenses. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. April 12, 1948 [April 12, 1947], No. 10109/48. Divided out of 665,094. Drawings to Specification. Class 39 (i). A magnetic electron or ion lens is operated with a constant current having a value in excess of that giving minimum focal length and from 30-50 per cent in excess of that producing saturation of the pole-pieces, so that the focal length remains constant at a relatively low value in spite of variation in accelerating voltage and chromatic aberration is reduced. It is stated that minimum focal length usually corresponds to saturation of the pole-pieces. The lens may be used as the objective lens in an electron microscope. In this case the object is brought into focus by varying the accelerating voltage or by mechanical movement of the object. It is explained graphically that if the lens is operated at minimum focal length fluctuations of lens current have a negligible effect on the focal length while fluctuations of accelerating voltage have somewhat more effect. When operated in the manner according to the invention the focal length is almost independent of fluctuations of accelerating voltage at the expense however of increased variation in focal length due to fluctuations in lens current; the current must therefore be kept as constant as possible.

Abstract: 822,458. Variable pitch propellers. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. March 31, 1958 [April 2, 1957], No. 10186/58. Class 114. A variable pitch propeller control system includes a control member 80, Figs. 2, 3, rotation of which is effected by movement of a control lever 88 (see also Fig. 1) connected to the member 80 by a variable ratio drive connection. The propeller assembly includes a hub 10 having attached thereto a regulator 16, propeller blades 14, a reservoir assembly 22 and a spinner 24 having an air inlet tube 26. The regulator 16 encloses feathering, control and speed rings 52, 54, 56 similar to those in Specification 810,453. The control ring 54 engages a shoe 120 connected to a valve housing 128, and is engaged by three screws 58 each having a pinion assembly 70 including a toothed portion 72 and an untoothed portion 74 with a flat 76 thereon. The control member 80 has three flanges 82 attached thereto between toothed portions 78 engageable with the toothed portions 72 of the pinion assemblies 70. Flanges 82 co-operate with the flats 76 to prevent rotation of the screws 58 during a portion of the movement of the gear 80.

Patent GB-571692-A (GB)
Title: Improved aeration meter
IPC: G01N7/00
Filed: 1943-06-24
Abstract: 571,692. Sampling liquids. MICHALSKI, W., and INSTITUTION OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERS. June 24, 1943, No. 10233. [Class 106 (v)] [Also in Groups III, XIX and XXIX] Means for determining the amount of air dissolved in a liquid circulating in a circuit, comprises a cylinder 5, Fig. 1, into the lower part of which a sample of the liquid can be diverted, a similar quantity of liquid being simultaneously discharged from the upper part of the cylinder into the circuit to maintain continuity of flow. The liquid normally flows from a pipe-line 1 through a valve 8 and pipe 2 to a pipe-line 4. Before the test, a piston 6 is at the bottom of the cylinder 5 and the space above the piston is filled with the liquid. Valve 21 is then opened and valve 8 moved to its lower position by operating a trigger 9. The pressure is indicated by a gauge 29. When a predetermined quantity of liquid has passed into the cylinder, the piston-rod 11 operates trip mechanism 12, 13, 37 to return the valve 8 to its upper position . The volume of aerated liquid plus free air in the cylinder below the piston is noted and a valve 20 is then opened to reduce the pressure above the piston to atmosphere and thus release some of the dissolved air in the liquid below the piston. The new volume below the piston is observed and the volume of liquid is determined either by putting the liquid column into communication with a manometer 24 or by removing the liquid through a pipe 33 for weighing. Each time the valve 8 is operated, a circuit is completed to operate a time-recorder. Temperature is measured by inserting a thermometer in an inlet 17.
